photo of the rabbit mirror stand and its gallery label on display at museum “明銅鎏金臥兔形鏡架 Mirror stand in the shape of a rabbit Ming dynasty (1368-1644), 16th-17th century Parcel gilt copper alloy Capital Museum, Beijing This mirror stand displays the bronze artist's ingenuity and fine craftsmanship; as quotidian objects, mirror stands were commonly made of wood or lacquer. This piece evokes the legendary moon-dwelling rabbit. In Chinese folklore, the moon is where the goddess Chang'e resides, accompanied by a rabbit. When such a three-dimensional rabbit supports a mirror, a lady using the mirror might well imagine herself as the moon goddess.”

Digital art of an anthro rabbit-like creature with pale indigo color fur/hair, and coal tar-like sticky black liquid dripping from their ears, tail, part of their hair and right eye. They have yellow eyes and sharp fangs. They are wearing a wine red button up over a black turtle-neck shirt, and are wearing white pants with a brown belt.

On top of a hat, a rabbit appears Welcoming Spring with joy and with cheer. A place for secrets, or trinkets that gleam Held in porcelain, created by dreams. What might you give to the White Rabbit for safe keeping? #art #spring #rabbit #furryart #nature

A white porcelain vessel with a lid. The lid looks like a top hat and a rabbit sits atop it, playfully.

#FotoVorschlag im Wald // in a forest #forest #rabbit #cute

The landscape-orientated image contains a small rabbit sitting in a grassy area. The rabbit is facing to the right side of the image. It has brown fur and long ears that are pointing upwards. The tail of the rabbit is white and visible. The grass is green and appears to be slightly overgrown. Behind the rabbit, there is a dense area of foliage with green leaves and some red berries. The lighting suggests it could be either early morning or late evening (it was late evening).

rev. queen of pentacles

unwater of earth, manifestation of all stages of the cycle of water.

Following on the page from 18., some new colors have entered the mix.

My question now is, if acrylic paint is one step away from being awkward ink, is a nib therefore the most excellent small round brush? Is a nib the best painting tool for details? Will I make a second pen set reserved for oil paints?
